What was the significance of April 18, 2010? I thought the previous record had been set on May 1, 2010 thanks to the ’10 Years’ events happening worldwide?

Is there a way to figure out the approximate percent of active geocachers that number represents? (of course a definition of “active geocacher” would be needed, like maybe logging an average of once a month for the past few months?)

Unfortunately in case of 09/10/11 there arises an ambiguity in date format. In some countries (like mine and yours) this would be interpreted as 9 October, but I think there are also countries where the same row of numbers means September 10.

I like the 11/11/11 idea for it is an even greater challenge to mobilize so many geocachers on Friday and with likely suboptimal weather for most parts of northern hemisphere.

You’re right about the ambiguity in date format. I hadn’t thought of that.
